June 1 -- Jessica M.

Absolutely stunning property! The views alone are worth it. We spent mornings on the deck with coffee and ended every night around the fire pit under the stars. Perfect girls' weekend escape.

June 4 -- Kyle & Megan W.

Peaceful, private, and beautiful. Loved how close we were to ATV trails. We spent all day riding and came back to grill and relax. Everything felt super clean and high-end.

June 10 -- Angela C.

Spacious, clean, and cozy! We had our family of 10 here for a long weekend, and it never felt crowded. The kitchen was fully stocked, and the kids loved the downstairs game area.

June 14 -- David R.

A perfect spot for a quiet retreat. We didn't leave the property much'just soaked in the views, the peace, and the comfort. We'll definitely return.

June 21 -- Brian & Lisa H.

The Lodge was the highlight of our South Dakota trip! We loved hiking in the nearby forest, and our evenings were spent sipping wine by the fire pit. Our teenage kids loved the downstairs hangout zone. Everything was spotless and beautifully maintained.

June 24 -- Kaitlyn B.

Can't believe how secluded this place felt while still being close to town. The layout of the house was perfect for our group of six. Loved the big windows and mountain air.

June 30 -- The Sanders Family

Such a beautiful setting! We brought grandma and all the grandkids. Everyone had their space, and the kitchen was great for big family meals. Deer even wandered through the yard one morning!

July 3 -- Omar V.

Views. Views. Views. I came here to reset, and it did just that. Absolute peace and quiet, with top-notch comfort.

July 6 -- Sarah & Cole D.

We rented the Lodge for our anniversary and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The interior design is rustic-luxury perfection. We explored local trails during the day and relaxed with wine by the fire pit each evening. The bed was crazy comfortable, and waking up to the view was unforgettable.

July 9 -- Lauren F.

Ten out of ten. The photos don't do it justice.

July 12 -- Tony M.

Stayed here with four buddies for a long weekend ATV trip. We hit the trails hard and came back each night to chill on the deck. Plenty of space for everyone. Highly recommend for a group trip.

July 18 -- Natalie K.

What a gem! Perfect for our yoga retreat. We did morning meditation on the deck and evening sessions in the great room. Serene and soul-filling.

July 21 -- Jenna & Marcus T.

We loved how open and airy the whole house felt. The giant windows gave us views of trees and sky all day. At night, the stars were unreal. We spent our last evening playing board games and laughing by the fire.

July 25 -- The Langston Group

We had a reunion here and couldn't have been happier. Ages ranged from 2 to 72 and everyone had a great time. Some of us rode trails, others relaxed, and the kids played for hours outside. Plenty of parking and lots of cozy spots inside to talk and reconnect.

August 2 -- Nick P.

Booked this place for a surprise birthday weekend. Everything went perfectly. Host was responsive and the property is even better in person.

August 7 -- Karla R.

We saw wild turkeys and deer from the kitchen window! Our kids were thrilled. Great spot to unplug and just enjoy nature. Fast WiFi too, which helped when we needed it.

August 11 -- Trevor S.

Lodge at Nemo is fantastic. We grilled, played pool, sat around the fire pit, and even watched a thunderstorm roll through the valley from the covered porch. One of the most relaxing weekends we've ever had.

August 18 -- Emily L.

Every detail was thought out'from the comfy beds to the stocked kitchen. We felt pampered and at home. Spent our days hiking and our nights watching movies in the big living room.

August 23 -- The Cordova Family

The best part? The quiet. No traffic, no noise-just wind in the trees. Our family needed a break and this place delivered. We booked again for next year before we even left.

August 30 -- Gabe F.

Epic getaway. If you're into trail riding, there's nowhere better to stay. We rolled straight from town to the forest. After a full day out, sitting by the fire pit hit just right.
